Cube Reaction Hybrid E-Bikes 2020

One of the defining characteristics of our designers is that they never rest on their laurels. With the brand-new, fourth-generation Bosch CX-powered Reaction Hybrid EX, they've pulled out all the stops to build a Bosch e-MTB that will help redefine what's possible from a hybrid hardtail. The frame is a masterpiece of elegantly functional engineering, combining sleek good looks with incredible handling, unmatched practicality and the superb strength and durability that you'd expect as a result of our extensive in-house testing - and it's available in a trapeze frame option, too. A brand-new Modular Battery System encloses the Bosch power unit inside the gravity cast down tube and allows for even more range, whilst oversized chain stays, a Boost rear axle and a 1.5in head tube ensure that the power delivery is as efficient as it is smooth. A dropper post-ready seat tube, revised geometry and elegant Smooth Welding complete the picture. To make the most of this amazing new frame, we selected components that offer great value and performance.

Evolution has brought us to this point: a 29er hybrid mountain bike, powered by Bosch's fourth-generation drive system and Shimano's 12-speed XT and SLX components. The Reaction Hybrid EXC 29 is the latest iteration of our constant quest to build smooth, fast, comfortable and affordable off-roaders. Designed around our brand-new Modular Battery System, it houses the Bosch power unit entirely within the stiff, strong down tube for a sleek appearance and unparalleled usability. Not only is it possible to charge the battery without removing it from the frame, but the new design has enabled the option of an even higher capacity unit for extended range. Revised geometry works with the Suntour XCR34 Boost fork and extra-wide Schwalbe 2.6in tyres to deliver safe, predictable handling that's lively when you want it, and confidence inspiring when you need it. The uncannily smooth and seamless power delivery of Bosch's fourth-generation CX drive unit is transferred to the rear wheel via Shimano's SLX and XT 12-speed drivetrain. Known for its matchless reliability and smooth shifting, the new Shimano 12-speed system also offers an unmatched gear range to make even the most daunting of climbs easier to ride. And, of course, we included powerful Shimano four-piston hydraulic disc brakes at the front, to ensure that you're always in full control. With a trapeze frame option and a wide range of sizes, there's a Reaction Hybrid EXC 29 to suit every rider.

Our designers always start with a clear goal in mind. In the case of the Reaction Hybrid Pro, it was a simple one: build a Bosch e-bike that will help its rider get more out of the trails they ride. To that end, they went back to the drawing board for 2020 and came up with a brand-new frame design that's sleeker, stiffer and more versatile than ever, incorporating Bosch's fourth-generation CX motor. Integrated cable routing complements the clean lines and reduces maintenance, whilst compatibility with CUBE accessories and a remote dropper post makes upgrading and accessorising a cinch. The seamlessly integrated Bosch drive unit and battery, controlled via a Purion handlebar-mounted interface, quietly and efficiently gets on with the job of boosting your pedal power for easier climbs, faster routes and expanded horizons. You can even charge the battery without removing it from the frame. Sram's superb SX Eagle 12-speed transmission provides an awesome gear range, while Shimano's smooth, powerful MT200 hydraulic disc brakes ensure you can control your speed whatever the weather or trail conditions. Extra-wide, grippy Schwalbe Smart Sam tyres offer ample grip and cushioning and our Natural Fit Sequence saddle ensures you'll stay comfortable on even the longest rides. Best of all, our Size Split system - and the option of a trapeze frame - means that there's a Reaction Hybrid Pro to suit every rider. Which means that there's nothing stopping you from getting more out of your riding...

The most powerful drive from Bosch for ambitious riders is particularly lightweight, compact and is extremely powerful and efficient. The new Performance Line CX (MY20) accelerates extremely powerfully, responds without delay and features convincing agile handling and even more control. With up to 340% of perfectly delivered support and dynamic responsiveness, it pushes the joy of eMountain biking to the next level. That's what we call: double the fun.
